Volcanic Silver.

Professor Mallet has analysed speci-
men Of volcanic ash collected on the
Pacific coast of Ecuador, 100 miles west
of Cotopaxi. The ash fell on July 20,
1885, and formed a deposit to the depth
of several inches. The interesting feature
in the composition Of the material was
the presence Of small amount Of silver,
probably as silver chloride; experiments
showed that the silver was present 10 the
extent Of one part in $4,000 ash. This is
the first time that silver has been identi-
fed in material elected from volcano.

Three loafers stood out on the street ali day,
And talked when they should have been
looking for WORK;
The fruits of hard labor they gladly eat
But labor itself Is horror they shirk.
For men will loaf and complain of hard times,
Accusing the rich men of all sorts of crimes,
While the bright world lies before them.
Three wives stood over their washtubs grim,
They washed and they scrubbed til the sun
went down:
Each Thought OF tho vasrsnt who called her

And. patiently struggled her sorrow to
drown.
For women must work and mon must eat,
And somebody has to make both ends meet
And tho landlord calls In the morning.

Lay there I'm their coils at tho break Of Cay.
Three poor wives came down with their hard
earned mitcs
The fines of sthcse lords of creation to pay.
For woman's devotion Is part OF her life,
The bigger the brute the more faithful the
wife;
And so twill go on forever.

Oil From Wood.

Wood oil is made on large scale in
Sweden from the refuse of timber-cut-
tings and forest-clearings, and from
stumps and roots and, although it can
not well be burned in common lamps
on account of the heavy proportion of
carbon it contains, it furnishes salts
factory light in lamps especially made
for it, and in its natural state is said
to be the cheapest of illuminating oils.
Thirty factories produce about 10000
liters of the oil daily; turpentine, creo-
sote, acetic acid, charcoal, coal-tar oils,
and other useful substances are also
obtained from the same materials.

Wood and Bones in Deep Well.

In addition to bits of charred wood
which we noticed the other day as
having been brought up from u depth OF
500 feet in the artesian well which the
Kicks Water company is drilling, we
have been shown pieces of shells such
as are common along the ocean beach.
These came up from rs far down as
$50 feet, which depth has now been
reached. These fragments of shells
are found in considerable quantity, and
Mr.. Kicks informs us also, that two or
three pieces of bone from the skeleton
of bird have come up. The finding
of such things so deep in the earth is
exciting considerable interest in the
community, and the inquiry naturally

pretty conclusive that at some period

At some time those shells were on the

A Trick OF the Trade.

TIE willy tree dealer who sells blue
roses, eurculio-proof plums, strawber-
ries rs large as red Astrakhan apples,
and the many other inventions of his
fertile brain, says Vick's Magazine,
must look with admiration at the pro-
gress which many of the plant and
seed dealers are making in this direc-
ton. That some one, without reputa-
ton, should try to gull the public
with an advertisement of the ''beauti-
full and fragrant cinnamon vine" dis
playing an elaborate cut for the pur-
pose, would scarcely deserve notice,
although the said cinnamon vine Is
nothing more or less than the Chinese
yam introduced into this country
twenty-five years ago. The obscurity
of the advertiser would naturally
make people shy of him; but when
some of our leading and well-known
firms stoop to the same practice, ii is,
to say the least, degrading an honor
able trade. A late advertisement dis
plays an engraving of large three
story house, the face of which, up to
tho roof, is covered with vine liter
ally clothed with large white flow
ers, and in the sky is the full moon, OF
which each of the flowers is supposed
to be smaller representative. This
plant is advertised as the moon flower,
without any other name being given.
1t is nothing more or less than the
well-known Ipomoea Bona Nox.
In one of the most widely circulated
magazines appears an elaborate en-
craving of landscape with some
lilies in the foreground, and this plant
is heralded us the Beautiful Coral
Lily of Siberia" with some very pa
thetic nonsense of its cheering the eX-
lie on his sad journey. No other name
is given, but it is simply Lilium tcnu-
ifOlium.
This style of advertising we can
characterize fifty with no other name
than trickery. Though the articles
themselves may be good, the public
are deceived by trumped-up names,
and are led to purchase what they
may, perhaps, already have. Though
the last two cases mentioned are by
well-known plant dealers, the practice
is none the less reprehensible, and il
the trade is expected to maintain the
high standard of honor that has here
tofore attached to it, such deceptive
advertising must be summed and con-
demned by all its members.

says the London Queen, and in having

of dressmaking has set an example
which ought to be widely fol-

OF much greater consequence. The
princess herself is known to be com

is always so perfectly dressed and why
